Perhaps you could share your take on gender reassignment discrimination? What’s the comparator if a trans woman says she’s been discriminated against on the basis of this characteristic? We know that for sex discrimination it’s men v women. How does this one work?

I don't know the answer to that sorry, it's not something I have thought through yet. Do you have a suggestion?

We have asked you more than a month ago to consider this debate. And you have been ignoring us. So I do not think you have not thought it through. You are refusing to think it through. Because you know the starting position, that a penis is female if a male says so, is absurd.

Hi Alessandra. I don’t want to minimise the seriousness of the issue, or your experiences. Il trying to figure out what the answer is, and the best way I have of doing that is to see what the law is, and says, the effect it has.

You have every right to be annoyed with me, if you feel I’m fence sitting, or misunderstanding the issue, or failing to empathise. If you want me to come out strongly on one ‘side’ then I’m afraid you are going to continue to be annoyed, and disappointed.

Adam - you chair the Board of an organisation who's CEO endorses (and presumably holds) the view that 'Gender Critical' is a synonym for 'transphobe' and that 'TERF' is an acceptable way to describe those with gender critical views. https://www.change.org/p/greater-manchester-police-gmp-liam-did-nothing-wrong-do-not-discipline-him …pic.twitter.com/zVXI7bF5nu

Maya Forstater Retweeted Equality Act 2010
The organisation that you are responsible does not respond when people raise this issue https://twitter.com/2010Equality/status/1098514076194521088 …. It did not commission any gender critical expert views either during or since the GRA consultation, and has argued that these are not 'voices that matter'

Gender critical expert views? What? Theres no such thing as an expert at being gender critical. It's like calling yourself a 'professional race realist' - you're still just a racist. Or in the case of supposed gender critical people, transphobic or even homophobic.

Experts on human rights & equality who would give gender critical analysis? There are a couple tagged on this thread already. Also @GoonerProf @anyabike @englishchick And going beyond the lawyers, @Docstockk @cwknews @michelemooreEd @RichardJGarside etc...

I block all anonymous accounts with cartoon character. For all I know they are male predators and sexual offenders getting off trolling women (they certainly behave as such).
